Wishing all of my 2017-2018 students and families a very happy, relaxing, and safe summer! Enjoy your time together because your vacation will be over before you know it!

I thoroughly enjoyed being your teacher and getting to know each of you. You all have so much potential, and I can't wait to see what the future brings for you!

See you next fall,

Mrs. Harkins

2017-2018 will be my twentieth year with New Prague Area Schools and my thirtieth year teaching all together. WOW! As the saying goes, "Time flies when you're having fun!" Prior to teaching in New Prague, I also taught the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades over the course of 10 years in Belle Plaine. I grew up in Belle Plaine and went to the College of Saint Benedict to earn my teaching degree. I also have a Master's in Teaching and Learning from Saint Mary's University in Winona, MN.
